We may share your personal information with the following recipients (and whenever we do, we will ensure that we have appropriate security and contractual safeguards in place to protect it):

If any part of our business enters into a joint venture, purchases another business or is sold to or merged with another business entity, your information may be disclosed or transferred to the target company, or new business partners or owners or their agents and advisors. In these circumstances we will always inform the relevant entities that they must only use your personal information for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Notice.

3.Legal basis for processing personal information

WalletWorx will always make sure we have a legal basis to collect and use your personal information. The legal basis we rely on will change depending on the type of information and the context in which we collect it.

Our main reason for collecting and using your personal information is to perform our contract with you (i.e. to make sure you get to use the Service at the level expected), but we may also process it where it is in our legitimate business interests to do so.

4.International data transfers

We may transfer your personal information to countries outside the one in which you are resident to other countries where WalletWorx or our service providers have operations. The data protection laws of these countries may differ from the laws of your country but WalletWorx takes care to implement appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information in those countries in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

Security

5.Security

We place great importance on keeping your personal information safe and secure. As such, we put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures / industry standard technology to protect it

from unauthorised access and unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage.

The security measures we use are designed to provide a level of protection security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. Where you have chosen a password which allows you to access certain parts of the Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We advise you not to share your password with anyone and to use a unique password for our Services. You will be liable for all transactions processed using your account. We will not be liable for any unauthorised transactions entered into using your name and password.

6.Data retention

WalletWorx will retain your personal information for no longer than is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, and where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, while you hold an account with us or to enable us to meet our legal, tax or accounting obligations). We may also retain certain elements of your personal information for a period after you delete or deactivate your account for our legitimate operations such as record keeping and to comply with our legal obligations. Whenever we retain your information we will do so in compliance with applicable laws.

If you object to us processing certain categories of your personal information (including in relation to receiving marketing communications from us or any third party including a Business Partner), we will retain a record of your objection to the processing of your information so that we can continue to respect your wishes. Should you chose to do so, you acknowledge that the Service may be impacted by your decision to restrict such processing.

We will destroy or permanently anonymise your personal information at the point that we no longer need to process it for our ongoing legitimate business needs or for any legal reason. If this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store it and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

7.Your data protection rights

You can access your account at any time to review and update your personal information. You can

also contact us to ask us to delete your personal information, restrict its processing or request that it be ported to a third party.
